S3 Ep. 5: The Sodor Garratt

Please note that Grady's "problems" are not intended to be mocking mental disabilities (autism, Down's Syndrome, etc.) Anyway, after over a months delay I bring you Episode 21! Before you ask, the song is "Bummel Petrus".
Note: Although children can watch this, they are not the intended audience. The intended audience are adult fans who grew up with the show for nostalgic purposes.

I like Grady! He may be... different, but he still has a level of wisdom that Cory and Will should have learned from before their accident. A lot like Forrest Gump in that regard: not an academic or bioengineer or anything, but still profound on a level the so-called “intellectuals” can’t match.

I've been meaning to post here for a while now. As the creator of the Sodor Garratt, I'm pleased with the outcome of your story. I was fairly surprised no one has used it in a video up until this point, and I applaud you for doing so. Each character represented themselves nicely, albeit the fact that Grady seemed like he had mental disabilities, which wasn't in my initial thoughts in creating the character. Other than that, it was quite a nice and cute story. Good job and I'm glad someone finally used my creation in a video. Thanks again!

[@CaptainJimiPie]

Great work and great idea for a character! They should introduce him into the TV series! My only bit of "constructive criticism" is Grady, as you say in the description he's not intended to be mocking but the character just seems a bit off alongside Cory and Will. I would have Grady be more like a sensible "middle man" who often tries to acts as a mediator between the two during their arguments but ultimately can't control them. It could lead to a good story where after getting tired of their arguments or perhaps Will (as the more brutish of the gang) makes a comment about how they do all the work whilst Grady just sits there and gets a free ride, he decides to give himself a boiler leak or not let his fire light at all, thus proving to them both that he is an integral part of the team! I appreciate it would been quite similar to what you've done here but I think it's the kind of storyline that could well be told in different ways, especially with a character always joined together!

[@matt0044]

Yeah, this was a good introduction and I hope the three of them are fleshed out in future stories.

[@gregkiteos1936]

I'd say that Grady does all the work physically, seeing as he is the locomotive (boiler, firebox, cylinders etc.).

[@Shunteration]

Actually, the position of Grady's eyes would be useful, since they probably allow him to have a better pheripherical vision to either side, and they're a long engine, so being struck from the side, or having someone wander too close to the tracks while they're rolling along could become a serious issue.

[@MarshallRedmon01]

He has his eyes like that so he can see anything coming from any directions

[@steamrailwilly]

I do not wish to be mean, but a Garrett locomotive doesn't need a turntable. A Garrett can travel both backwards and forwards easily, much like a tank locomotive. I suggest that, in future episodes, the two ends of the Garrett take turns leading and trailing on trains. Again, I do not say this to be mean, it is just my understanding that Garrett locomotives were not meant to be turned around.

[@bigharryyy03]

There is a latch on the knuckle that allows him to couple to screwlink couplings.

[@thomaswang1118]

Oh I see thanks :)

[@bigharryyy03]

Yeah it's supposed to look like they came from another railway, possibly in South Africa because they used Garratts more than any other country. The idea is that they kept the coupler but added the latch and buffers to make it usable with European rolling stock. It's kinda like how Hiro has that as well.
